Leary De livers Address on Voca tional Agriculture Beaufort stands an excellent chance of having a vocational agriculture department added to its school if Beaufort citizens will assist in obtaining the necessary money and the "proper pressure is brought to bear," Beaufort Jay ces were told at their Monday night meeting in the Inlet inn. T. G. Leary, principal of Beau fort school, addressed the Jaycees on the possibilities of obtaining a manual arts department at the Beaufort school. Mr. Leary stated that there were four possible setups of a j vocational nature that a school could obtain. The first is a home economics department which Beaufort school already has, the second, a manual arts department, the project Jaycees were primarily interested in, the third, a voca tional agriculture department, and the last one a diversified occupa tions program. i The principal said there was little chance of a manual arts pro ivrvnm "beiJUM attained i ince Use state department in charge of al locating the programs did not lifce to locate them close together and there was one already in More head City. However, he said, Beaufort might possibly obtain a vocational agriculture department, a department that would be a defi nite asset to the school and the eastern part of the county. "The school does not have space for such a department at the pre sent time," Leary said. "How ever, the cost of a building and' equipment would only amount to $15,000., The county board of education has over $360,000 to spend on schools in the county and if the proper pressure is brought to bear there is no rea son why $15,000 of that amount can not go to Beaufort school." The principal went on to say that he had already talked to County Superintendent of Schools Harvey Joslyn and that Mr. Joslyn had said that if a vocational ag riculture department were added, an arrangement could be worked out whereby Beaufort* students could travel to Morehead City "for the manual arts course and More head City students travel to Beau- i fort foj the vocational agriculture j course. He added that what was) needed was for Beaufort Jaycees; ??? Beaufort Jaycees Page Sim , Mrs. James R.

Chief Willis declared that people are jittery and become alarmed at the slightest noise. Alarms arc received at the police station for things that at another time would cause no undue attention. Police, however, are maintain^ ing constant vigilance. All Strang era in town are questioned if they are found abroad at unusual hours. It's difficult to check every fisherman and person on the sfteets after dark, but that is what is being done, the chief stated.

Pupils in high school are examined when requested by the principal of the particular school. Typhoid shots are given the children in the spring. In some schools every child willingly takes the inoculation, even though they are not required to do so. This ! is especially true in the colored i schools, declared the nurse. | This past spring, Mrs. Spivey gave 1,860 inoculations in her ; territory, which is Morehead City westward. Residents in isolated communi ties depend on the public health nurse to a large extent, the speak ' or told the business women. In most ontlying residential areas, I the nurse sounds her horn three I times as she goes through and i children rim out, shouting, "Here I comes the nurse! Here comes the ; nurse!" Then folks gather around " her car when she stops to tell her of thdr wants and needs. Dr. N.
